[Bug gjdoc/30050] New: [PATCH] Allow gjdoc to build without GNU cp (but with rsync)

[flameeyes at gentoo dot org]

Trying to build gjdoc on Gentoo/FreeBSD, I found it fail because the makefile
uses the "cp -u" command, that is not present in *BSD cp command. FreeBSD ports
have a patch to change cp to gcp and then depend on GNU coreutils, but as that
solution is suboptimal for us, I've prepared the attached patch.

The configure checks if cp -u is supported; if it is not (on *BSD), it checks
for the presence of rsync command (that also supports -u switch) and use that.
It could probably be improved to check the presence of gcp or other commands
that support a similar option; I've chosen rsync just because it's a system
package in Gentoo and is thus always present on the system.

HTH,
Diego
